I think it's safe to say you could take this stuff straight to your BJJ academy and "test" it on your fellow students but sadly the MMA/BJJ folks shy away from the "Japanese Arts" board. Too bad. I keep hoping to start a thread that will just shoot to 300 posts in a week but that's a pipe dream.
I think if the same techniques were presented up there it would get more attention?
Lets find out, shall we?
Shoulder locks are illegal in Judo and BJJ players will think the shoulder lock(s) is (are) an elbow lock. Any bets?
Who is REALLY paying attention? (I wonder) LOL
Join me on the MMA board?

You know, I find lots more MMA guys these days respect Judo a lot more than they did just 5 years ago - and definitely more than they did 10 years ago.
That's my experience..
I used to hear "yeah, but their throws don't work" and now I hear "Some of that stuff they do is really wicked if you can learn to do it from over/underhooks."
I've always liked Judo. I consider it one of the most complete arts out there - and they ALWAYS practiced alive.
